“Find Your Park” is the theme for this year’s National Park Week, which runs April 18-26. Pinnacles National Park will be celebrating the National Park Service centennial during the week, offering special programs throughout the week, culminating with an Earth Day Habitat Restoration Service Event on Saturday, April 25, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. starting at the Visitor Center on the east side of the park.
“National Park Week provides a great opportunity for visitors of all ages to come out and explore their National Parks,” said Pinnacles Superintendent Karen Beppler-Dorn. “We invite you to celebrate National Park Week and find your park in Pinnacles National Park.” Visit www.NationalParkWeek.org to learn more about how you can join parks, programs, and partners in celebrating National Park Week across the country.
Event details can be found at the volunteer.gov website.
Pinnacles National Park joins parks, programs, and partners across the country to encourage everyone to find their park and share their stories online at FindYourPark.com. Launched this week by the National Park Service and the National Park Foundation, Find Your Park is a public awareness and education campaign celebrating the milestone centennial anniversary of the National Park Service in 2016 and setting the stage for its second century of service. Find Your Park invites the public to see that a national park can be more than a place — "it can be a feeling, a state of mind, or a sense of American pride," the park service said in a release. Beyond vast landscapes, the campaign highlights historical, urban, and cultural parks, as well as the National Park Service programs that protect, preserve and share nature, culture, and history in communities nationwide.
